OUai^LNIZA-TION 



OF THE 



Military of Alleglieny County. 



On the 11th of April, 1861, the Secession movements in the South — al- 
ready endorsed by Legislative action in Several States — culminated in a de- 
mand by General Beauregard, commander of the rebel troops, for a surren- 
der of Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston. The refusal of Major 
Anderson to surrender was followed, on the 12th inst., by an assault on the 
fort, which, after a two days' bombardment, was capitulated, and the Uni- 
ted States garrison, comprising less than ninety men, left the fort on the 
14th inst. with the honors of war, saluting their flag. No loss of life had 
occured during the bombardment, but by the bursting of a gun in firing the 
salute two men were killed and four wounded. 

The most intense excitement throughout the North followed the announce- 
ment of the attack on Fort Sumter, and on the 15th of April the President 
issued a proclamation calling upon the States to furnish 75,000 militia, to 
suppress the rebellion, and summoning an extra session of Congress on the 
4th of July following. The quota of Pennsylvania, under this call for 
troops, was fixed at sixteen regiments, and the command of the Western 
Division of the State assigned to Brigadier-General Negley, for the purpose 
of organizing the troops. 

The call for volunteers found Allegheny County, like all other parts of 
the State, almost unprovided with military organizations. There were in 
the two cities ten volunteer companies — the Jackson Independent Blues, 
Duquesne Greys, Washington Infantry, Allegheny Rifles, Pennsylvania 
Dragoons, Pittsburgh Turner Rifles, Lafayette Blues, Pennsylvania Zou- 
aves, National Guards and United States Zouave Cadets — several of which 



Military Record 



had been orpjanized during the military furore following the visit of the 
Chicago Zouaves, in 1860 In the county there were also a few volunteer 
organizations — the Pennsylvania Infantry, at East Liberty, AUifjuippa 
Guards, M'Kecsport, Turtle Creek Guards, Turtle Creek, two companies in 
Birmingham, St. Clair Guards, Union Artillery, National Lancers, and one 
or two others. 

The greatest enthusiasm followed the announcement of the call for 
volunteers. Scores of companies were set on foot and tendered their ser- 
vices to the Governor. On the 15th instant recruiting began throughout 
the county, and on the 17th, the first detachment of Turner Rifles, eighty 
men, under Captain Audung, left for Harrisburg. The remainder of the 
company, which was organized from the German Turner Association, left 
on the following day. On the same day, the Hannibal Guards, a company 
of colored men, also tendered their services. On the 18th, Trovillo's In- 
vincibles, Robinson' Light Guards, M'Dowell's State Guards, and Gerard's 
Pennsylvania Zouaves, left for IIarrisl)urg, followed, on the 20th, by a "sec- 
ond detachment," and Rippey's Scott Legion, Gallagher's Shields Guards, 
and Alliquippa Guards, of M'Kecsport. On the 22d, the first regiment was

ment, Col. John W. Johnston. 

AVbile these companies were recruiting, the community was in a constant 
whirl of excitement. Public buildings, stores, and even private houses 
were profusely decorated with flags of all sizes and qualities. Private sub- 
scriptions for the benefit of individuals and companies were raised liberally 
— amounting in the aggregate to thousands of dollars. Revolvers, swords, 
boAvie knives, sashes, and other weapons and military decorations were pre- 
sented by hundreds, individuals, companies, and corporations vieing with 
each other in liberality. By the efforts of a few individuals, in some in- 
stances, whole companies were uniformed ; but we regret to say, the materi- 
als and make, in some cases, soon proved to be of the shabbiest character. 
Thus several companies of the three months volunteers were twice supplied 
with clothing within a few weeks ; once before leaving home, and again by 
the State, with " shoddy " suits, and both of such miserable materials as 
to fall to pieces before the campaign had fairly commenced, causing much 
needless suffering among the raw recruits. 

During this period of excitement, the ladies took their full share of lab- 
or, sewing gratuitously for the soldiers^ making lint and hospital supplies, 
and providing such delicacies as their means permitted. Hundreds of have- 
locks were made, but the discovery that the white colored stuff" of which they 
were made had an injurious effect on the eyes of the rear rank men, put a 
sudden stop to the manufacture. Private subscriptions were raised to pro- 
vide means both for the outfitting of the volunteers and for the defence of 
the city. Messrs. Knapp, Rudd & Co., of the Fort Pitt works, generously 
tendering the heavy ordnance for the purpose. 

Departure of Allegheny County Troops. 

On the 24th of April — eleven days after the President called for 75,000 
men — the last detachment (excepting two companies) of the 12th and 13th 
Regiments, left for Harrisburg. At an early hour in the day the troops 
mustered and repaired to the East Common, Allegheny, where a grand re- 
view had been announced to come off". A slight rain had been falling, 
which increased to a heavy shower as the review was about commencing, 
and continued without intermission, interfering greatly with the Command- 
ing General's arrangement for a grand demonstration. The review did not 
come off", the soldiers instead plodding their way, through the muddy streets 
and torrents of rain, to the railroad depot, which they reached in dilapida- 
ted plight, the column marching through Western avenue, Ohio and Feder- 
al streets to the river, across the Suspension bridge, up St. Clair and Fifth 



Of AUegh&ntf County. 



streets to Smithfield, thence to Sixth and down to Liberty, where three 
trains, consisting of thirty-three cars, were in waiting to transport them to ' 
the State Capital. On the route a beautiful silk flag was presented to the 
12th Regiment by the ladies of Allegheny, and received by Capt. R. Bid- 
die Roberts, of the U. S. Zouave Cadets. This demonstration took place 
at the house of Wm. Bagaley, Esq., on Western Avenue. 

Before the troops reached the trains, the arrangements for supplying a 
comfortable lunch were perfected. A day's rations of bread and meat had 
been placed on each man's seat, and his tin cup filled with excellent cofiee, 
most gladly welcomed by the soldiers after their trudge through mud and 
rain. In Kier's warehouse, near the depot, a table was bountifully sup- 
plied, and but few failed "to pay their respects" to it. Credit for this 
timely supply of comfort for the inner man is due mainly to the citizens 
who subsequently organized the Subsistence Committee, of which we will 
hereafter speak. 

About twelve o'clock, m., the first (and largest) train moved off amid the 
most enthusiastic demonstrations, waving of handkerchiefs from the win- 
dows and housetops, and deafening cheers from the spectators, all cheerful- 
ly responded to by the men in the cars. At least ten thousand people had 
collected to wave farewell to the "gallant three monthsers." The smaller 
trains followed the first at brief intervals, and the crowd was not cleared oif 
until long after the first car was out of sight. 

The first train arrived at Huntingdon at half-past six p. m., and simulta- 
neous with its arrival the soldiers were besieged by citizens bearing baskets 
of boiled eggs, sandwiches, crackers, cheese, hot cofiee, &c. The second 
and third trains stopped at Altoona, and the men were there fed at the ex- 
pense of the Government. 

The trains arrived at Harrisburg between one and two o'clock on the 
morning of the 25th, and the men were quartered in churches and in the 
capitol. On the afternoon of the same day the regiments were mustered 
into the service of the United States, on the square fronting the State Cap- 
itol, on each side of which the 12th and 13th regiments were formed in 
line. After the ceremony. Gov. Curtin passed in review. 

Col. Campbell's regiment, the 12th, left the same evening for " Camp 
Scott," at York, and Col. Rowley's left on the following day for the same 
destination. 

At Camp Scott, 

of which Brig. Gen. Wynkoop was in command, were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 12th, 
13th and 16th Regiments, numbering in all about 5,000 men. Beside 
the Allegheny county companies in the 12th and 13th, another company, 
the Negley Zouaves, were in the 3d. The men suffered much for the 
want of sufficient clothing, which Avas not furnished for some time after 
their arrival at York. 

On the 29th of April Gen. Negley issued his first General Order, assum- 
ing command of the 12th and 13th regiments, Capt. Leasure, of Lawrence 
county, acting as Adjutant General. 

Major General Keim, with his aid. Col. Schaffer, of Lancaster, arrived at 
York on May 6th, and assumed control of affairs. Two days after, Captain

Military Record 



Ekin, quartermaster of the 12tli, left Philadelphia, with requisitions for 
clothing and accoutrements for all the troops in camp Scott, lie returned 
on the 12th, having been succesvsful in his mission. 

At this time, the bridges on the Northern Central Railroad, (destroyed 
by the rebels,) had been rebuilt, and trains ..began running regularly from 
Harrisburg to Baltimore, a special train going through on the (Hh. 

Gen. Negley, by direction of jNIaj. Gen. Keim, ha<l added to his brigade 
(the Fourth,) the 14th and 15th Regiments, in camp at Lancaster. The 
Alli(iuippa Guards, Capt. Snyder, of McKeesport, were Co. K, in the 
14th. 

The subject of re-enlisting for three years or the war was now agitated, 
and excited considerable discussion. The (question was not put to the 
men, and the reports that they refused to re-enlist are false. Beitig half a 
mouth in the service without equipments, when other regiments subseijuent- 
ly organized were already in the field, abundantly supplied with everything, 
the men of the 12th and 13th, were in no amiable mood. On the 3d of 
May, Governor Curtin was advised that there were three very fine regi- 
ments in Philadelphia ready to go into service, and was urged to accept 
them. They were accepted and at once eijuipped and sent oft". When 
Capt. Ekin visited Philadelphia, he was informed that the 12th and 13tli 
regiments were in excess, and that unless they enlisted for three years they 
would be sent home. The acceptance of the Philadelphia regiments had 
more than filled the State's quota of three months men, and hence the 
12th and 13th, although fully organized in less than two weeks after the 
call for troops, were to be crowded out. But, through the active exertions 
of one of our Representatives in Congress, Hon. J. K. Moorhead, the Sec- 
retary of War set all things straight. Who was to blame for this trouble 
we cannot say, but it seems, through somebody's inadvertancc or neglect, 
that the War Department had not been advised of the organization of the 
Allegheny county regiments. 

On the 10th of May, (Sunday,) Gov. Curtin, with his Aid, Col. R. Rid- 
dle Roberts, reviewed the troops at York. lirig. Gens. Negley and Wyn- 
koop appeared with their brigailes. 

The first instalment of overcoats and accoutrements reached York on the 
19th, another on the following day, and from day to day until all the 
troops in Camp Scott were fully clothed, equipped and furnished with Camp 
equipage. The inferiority and absolutely rottenness of the clothing excited 
much comment and not a little indignation. 

About this time Gen. Negley left Y''ork for Lancaster, to see after the 
interests of the 14th and loth Regiments. Ilis separation from the 12th 
and 13th Regiments, it was at first supposed, Avould be but temporary, but 
turned out that they were taken out of his command entirely, as he exercised 
no control over them from the time of his leaving York, and during the re- 
mainder of the campaign he had Imt one company from Allegheny county 
under his command — the Alliciuippa Guards. This was much against his 
wishes, as well as against the desire, we believe, of a majority of the Alle- 
gheny volunteers. 

On the 25th — having remained at Camp Scott exactly one month — the 
12th Regiment received marching orders and was stationed along the 



Of Allegheny County. 9 



Northern Central Railroad, guarding it from the destructive intentions of 
the rebels. The regiment remained there until the expiration of their term 
of service. 

On the 3d of June, the 13th received marching orders, and on the follow- 
ing day left Camp Scott for Chambersburg, at which place it arrived on the 
morning of the 7th, and went into "Cantonment Rowley," west of the town, 
in the Fair Grounds, where it remained a few days, removing thence, on 
on the 12th, four miles South, to "Camp Brady." Here the regiment was 
placed in the brigade of Col. Dixon S. Miles, U. S. A., composed of the 
9th and 16th P. V., and detachments of the 2d and 3d Infantry, (regulars.) 
The 15th found the regiment at "Camp Riley," in Md., a mile and a half 
from the Potomac, and on the following day it was at "Camp Hitchcock," 
in Berkeley County, Va., two miles South of the Potomac, which river it 
crossed, with Gen. Patterson's army, at Williamsport. 

Before daylight on the 17th, the regiment, with the brigade to which it 
was attached, retreated across the Potomac to Williamsport, and took up 
quarters at " Camp Miles," adjoining the town. Here Col. Miles and his 
regulars were detached and left for Washington City. The regiment re- 
mained at this point, spending the time most agreeably, until the 4th of July. 

At the Ledger office, in Williamsport, some of the 13th boys printed a 
newspaper, entitled, " The Pennsylvania Thirteenth," dated " Camp 
Miles, July 4th, 1861." 

M. Swartzwelder, Esq., having paid the camp a visit, witnessed the 
spectacle of a company parading in drawers, a supply of which they had 
just received. He was convinced, after examining a few of the pantaloons 
worn by the soldiers, that it was not the warmth of the weather that in- 
duced them (the men) to come out in clean drawers in the presence of spec- 
tators, rather than in pant's which would not cover their nakedness. 

As an evidence of the feeling concerning the "shoddy" clothing, the 
"local " of the " Thirteen " thus dilated : 

" We advertise for sale a choice lot of rags, (material unknown) formerly 
put together as soldiers' clothing. If Mr. Neil, of Philadelphia, Avishos to 
assist in a speculation, he will find his services appreciated by applying to 
the 13th Regiment." 

On the day of the publication of the paper, and while Sergt. Maj. Cal- 
low was working the press, without positive orders the 13th crossed the 
Potomac the third time. Being short of rations, and directed not to move 
until his commissary department had been replenished. Col. Rowley formed 
the regiment in line on the bank of the river, and put the question to the 
men whether they would be content to live for five days on three day's ra- 
tions. An affirmative reply was given, and five minutes later the regiment 
filed into the Potomac, while Doubleday's guns were belching forth salutes 
in honor of the day. Arrived in Martinsburg on the same day, (the sec- 
ond after the fight at Falling Waters,) and remained there until the 15th, 
when Patterson's army moved to Bunker Hill, twelve miles distant from 
Winchester. Here it rested in quietude, barring the nightly alarms, (caused 
by timorous picket guards) until the 18th, when the army moved, NOT to Win- 
chester, as was generally expected, but to Charleston, in the direction of Har- 



10 



Military Record 



per's Ferry. Remaining at Charleston for a few days, the line of march 
was taken up fur the Ferry, where the Potomac was crossed a fourth 
time. Encamping for a night opposite Maryland Heights, the regiment 
headed for ILigerstown, marching some twenty-two miles in nine hours. 
' The men knew they were going home, their term of service having expired. 
At Ilagerstown they took the cars for Chamhersburg, thence to llarrisbnrg, 
arriving in Pittsburg on the 29th of July. They were regularly mus- 
tered out and paid ott a few days afterward. So ends a brief history of the 
bloodless campaign of the three months men. 

The 13th regiment, together with the companies in the 3d, 7th and 14th, 
saw quite as much service as any of the three months troops attached to 
Gen. Patterson's division, while the 12th regiment did most efficient service 
in performing the duty to which it was assigned. 

The companies in the 5th remained about Washington City, and were 
among the very first troops which arrived to defend the National Capital. 

The 7th regiment went from Harrisburg to Camp Slifer, near Chambers- 
burg, and was assigned to the Brigade of Gen. Williams. It crossed the 
Potomac with Patterson's army, and continued with it in the marches from 
Williamsport to Harper's Ferry, whence the three months men were all 
sent home. 

While at Charleston, the battle of Bull Run took place, and on the day 
previous the 13th. was ordered to proceed some twenty miles in the direc- 
tion of Winchester to burn some bridges and tear up railroad tracks, and 
had started on their mission. The order, however, was countermanded, 
while Capt. M. K. Moorhead, the Quartermaster, was endeavoring to pro- 
cure the necessary tools. 

The Alliquippa Guards, of McKeesport, Capt. Christian Snyder and 
Lieut. 's F. Shaum and George Haast, — attached to the 14th Regiment, Col. 
J. W. Johnston, of Westmoreland, remained at Lancaster for a considera- 
ble time, going thence to Chamhersburg and participating in the campaign 
through the Cumberland Valley and Virginia. On the 14th of July, at 
Camp Negley, near PLigerstown, Md., the officers of the Guards resigned, 
because, as they stated, no provisions were furnished their men. The re- 
signations were accepted by Gen. Negley, who appointed other officers, 
viz : Capt. Jas. A. Lowric, and 1st I(ieut. Alexander Forsyth, both of whom 
were on the General's staff, and the latter afterwards assigned as Quarter- 
master of the 14th Regiment, with James H. Snodgrass, as assistant. 

The Negley Zouaves, of East Liberty, Capt. Lawson, also actively 
participated in the three months campaign, doing guard duty on the 
radroad at Ha";erstown for a short time.

THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC SAFETY. 



Pending the organization of the volunteer militia of the county, active 
exertions were making in the community in the furtherance of the county's 
cause. One of the most important bodies ever organized in the country 
was set on foot, and for months afterwards exercised a controlling in- 
fluence in all military aifairs in the county. The duties of the Commit- 
tee of Public Safety were multifarious and laborious, yet they were 
attended to with a vigilance and promptitude that will forever reflect credit 
on the members. On the 15th of April an immense mass meeting was 
held in City Hall. Never before had so many persons gathered within 
its walls — never had the same unanimity of sentiment been displayed. 
This meeting adopted a series of resolutions pertinent to the crisis, the 
fourth of which authorized the appointment of a Committe of One Hun- 
dred, to act in all matters pertaining to the "patriot cause." This com- 
mittee, which was announced by the venerable chairman of the meeting. 
Judge Wilkins, on the 17th, was composed of prominent citizens of all 
parties, and temporarily organized by electing Thomas Bakewell, Esq., 
President ; John Birmingham, W. Bagaley, Hon. Thomas M. Howe, Wm. 
F. Johnston, C. Zug and G. W. Cass, Vice Presidents ; and T. Steel, C. 
McKnight, T. J. Bigham and T. B. Hamilton, Secretaries. 

A committee appointed on permanent organization, at a meeting on the 
18th, reported the following permanent officers : Hon. William Wilkins, 
President ; Hon. Thomas M. Howe, Hon. William F. Johnston, William 
Bagaley, James P. Barr, John Birmingham and George W. Cass, Vice 
Presidents ; Messrs. William M. Hersh, John W. Riddell, George H. 
Thurston, Wm. Woods, Jos. R. Hunter and Thos. D. Hamilton, Secretaries 
and Jas. M'Auley, Treasurer. The committee also reported the propriety 
of creating three sub-committees, viz : Finance, Home Defence, and Ex- 
ecutive Committees, the organization of which, for obvious reasons, was not 
made public. The committees at once entered upon their duties in col- 
lecting funds and organizing the residents of the county into companies 
and regiments of Home Guards. The duties of the Executive Committee 
were of an extremely delicate character. At the outbreaking of the re- 
bellion, there were in every community in the North numbers of residents 
who sympathized, more or less openly, with the rebels, and continued to 
supply them, for some time, with articles contraband of Avar. These arti- 
cles were forwarded by railroad and express to points in the West, from 
which they could readily be distributed to the South. It became the duty 



12 



Military Record 



of the committee to intercept these contraband shipments, and to put a 
stop, as quietly as possible, to the public expression of disloyal sentiments. 
For some weeks their labors -were arduous, but finally resulted in a com- 
plete suppression of the illegal traffic. Hon. Wm. F. Johnston, Hon. Thos. 
Howe, lion. Wm. Wilkins, Hon. John E. Parke, George W. Cass, George 
P. Hamilton, Thomas S. ]51air, James H. Sewell, James Park, jr., James

Reuben Miller, jr., Edward Gregg, Samuel Dilwortli, W^illlam J. Morrison, 
Isaac Jones, M. Swartzwelder, William Coleman, Dr. George M'Cook, sr., 
P. C. Shannon, and Edward H. Stowe, formed this committee, of which 
William F. Johnston was elected chairman, and Thomas [M. Howe Vice 
President, Geo. H. Thurston, Secretary of the Committee of Public Safety 
and J. A. Hutchinson, were appointed secretaries. Mr. Thurston, from his 
wide acquaintance in the conununity and his experience in business of a 
kindred nature, was enabled to be of great service to the committee in 
the transaction of its business. 

At a mass meeting of citizens held some time after the formation of 
the committee, another committee was appointed to confer with the Execu- 
tive Committee, being subsequently consolidated with it. It was composed 
of Messrs. B. C. Sawyer, A. C. Alexander, James M. Cooper, Wm. Robin- 
son, jr., Wm. K. Nimick, John Harper, Robert Ashworth, F'rancis Sellers, 
F. li. Brunot, B. F\ Jones, T. J. Bigham, John Myler, Wm. Semple, Jas. 
P. Tanner, Saml. Wickersham and James French. The original committee 
was in constant session for several weeks, day and night. The joint com- 
mittee was chiefly engaged Avith business relative to the defence of the city. 
The last meeting of the committee was held on Sept. IGth, 18G1, there be- 
ing no emergency from that date until September. 18Gi2, which required 
their attention. 

The Executive Committee, or rather, the Committee on Munitions of War, 
Messrs. Jos. Dilworth, Geo. M'Cook, E. D. Gazzam, .Jonas R. McClintock, 
and Robert Finney, on the 2.5th of April published a notice to shij)pers, to 
report all goods supposed to be contraband to the committee, sitting in 
permanent session. The Committee on the Transit of Contraband Goods — 
Messrs. George McCook, M. D., Henry Hays, E. D. Gazzam, Jonas R. 
McClintock and W. E. Fundenburg, — on the 28th, passed the following 
resolutions : 

" Resolved, That all goods arriving at Pittsburg, and destined for South- 
ern States, be stopped for the present, stored and insured. 

" Resolved, That no packages whatever shall be allowed to go forward to 
Southern States till they have been opened and examined by the Committee. 

" Resolved, That one or more packers be employed to attend to the 
opening of boxes and other packages and repacking the same." 

The Committee still exercised a supervision over shipments during the 
summer. On the 28th of August, while the Collector of Customs was ex- 
amining an Express car load of goods, and munitions of war, a box of "fric- 
tion tubes,"' used in firing army ordnance, exploded. Mr. James Batch- 



Of Allegheny County, 13 



elor, a brother of Captain Chas, W. Batchelor, Collector of Customs, who 
was standing beside the car, had his leg broken by a splinter. Wm. Mc- 
Laughlin, Expressman, John Maher, stableman, and Michael Regan, 
laborer, were at work in the car. McLaughlin was friglitfully lacerated 
about the face and stomach, and one of his eyes badly injured. Maher was 
also terribly injured, his right side being lacerated, his left knee laid open 
to the bone, and his right arm, wrist and hand torn and mangled. All for- 
tunately recovered. The cause of the explosion could never be clearly as- 
certained, as the tubes are packed with extreme care. 

The Home Guards. 

Under the auspices of the Committee on Home Defence, preliminary 
meetings were held in nearly all the wards of the two cities, on the 20th of 
April, for the purpose of organizing a militia for home defence, and during 
the fortnight following, organizations were perfected in almost every pre- 
cinct in the county. Some of the companies adopted a cheap uniform, 
others merely assumed a military cap, while a large number sought no 
uniformity of dress or equipment. About the 1st of May, the Committee 
were authorized by the State authorities to draw from the arsenal muskets 
and rifles for the Home Guards, The arms were accordingly furnished by 
Maj. Symington, and, together with a large number purchased by the Com- 
mittee, stored in City Hall, which was placed under a strong guard for sev- 
eral weeks. Prior to the departure of the last detachments of volunteers, 
1139 muskets and rifles were also distributed among them by the Committee. 
As the companies of Home Guards were organized, they Avere reported to 
the Committee, inspected and sworn, and on the 3d of May the distribution 
of arms commenced, companies of riflemen receiving fifty rifles, and infantry 
companies seventy muskets. The muskets were generally old " Harper's 
Ferry" flint locks, but answered admirably all the purposes of drill. The 
rifles were of the old pattern, without bayonets, but in other respects first- 
rate arms. Forty-five companies v/ere inspected on the first day, of which 
twenty were supplied with arms. In the course of the ensuing fortnight, 
all the companies organized were armed and under competent officers were 
being actively drilled. On Friday, May 11th, the last company — the 
Allegheny Grenadiers, Capt. Wray — were supplied with arms. The com- 
mittee then reported a distribution of 2088 muskets and 882 rifles. Five 
thousand five hundred men were organized into Home Guard companies. 
Before distributing the arms, the committee required bonds from the officers 
of the several companies. The organization, as might have been expected, 
was made the target of not a little idle and malicious wit, and finally suc- 
cumbed to ridicule and loss of novelty. Nevertheless, it had served a good 
purpose in thoroughly arousing the military spirit of the people, and its 
beneficial effects became apparent in recruiting under the subsequent call 
for five hundred thousand men. The immense body, thus enrolled and par- 
tially drilled, made but one exhibition of its strength — in the grand parade of 
July 4th. It had in the meantime been organized into regiments iind bri- 
gades, of which we have the followmg record :

THE RESERVE CORPS. 



In tlie excitement which followed the call for seventy-five thousand mili- 
tia, a sufficient number of organizations were set on foot to have furnished 
that number from Pennsylvania alone. Notwithstanding the fact that the 
State quota was filled in less than a week, these organizations — to the 
number of over forty in Allegheny county alone — still held together, though 
in many instances at great inconvenience to the men and cost to the officers. 
Strenuous efforts w^ere made to induce the State authorities to accept these 
companies, and on the 27th of April the Governor decided to form a Camp 
at Pittsburgh. The temporary control of the camp was placed in the hands 
of one of the sub-committees of the Committee of Public Safety. The Fair 
Grounds were selected as a suitable site, and Camp Wilkins organized with 
Col. P. Jarrett, of Lock Haven, Clinton county, Pa., as commandant, Henry 
A. Weaver, Commissray, and Sam'l. P. M'Kelvy, Quartermaster. Twenty- 
six companies were immediately reported as ready to go into camp, of 
which we have the following list : 

Government Guards,* Capt. Robt. Anderson ; Fayette Guards,* Union- 
town, Capt. S. D, Oliphant; CharticrsA'^alley Guards,* Capt. Charles Barnes; 
Pittsburgh Rifles,* Capt. L. W. Smith ; Pennsylvania Rover Guards, Capt.

C. F. Jackson ; Lafayette Blues, Captain Wilkinson ; Highland Guards, 
Captain Robert Chester \ Anderson Guards, Captain W. A. Andei--

Mackrell ; Minute Riflemen,| Pine township. Captain Thos. Gibson; 
Allegheny Rangers,* Capt. H. S.Fleming; Independent Rangers, Capt.

gomery Guards, Captain M. Brennan; Anderson Infantry,| Capt. Alex- 
ander Scott ; National Guards, A. Capt. H. Hultz ; Irish Volunteers, 
Capt. John Murphy; Federal Guards,} Capt. J. C.Hull. 

Great disappointment was created by the announcement, on Tuesday, 
that but six Allegheny county companies could be accepted and provided 
for in Camp Wilkins. An impromptu meeting of Captains was held in the 
Girard House, at which-forty five companies were represented. A meeting 
was held on the following day, at which a resolution to disband was dis- 
cussed and rejected, and a regimental organization determined on. On

Thursday, twenty-eight companies, including a number not previously men- 
tioned, were represented, and after some discussion two regiments were 
formed. 

First Regiment: Colonel, Alexander Hay; Lieut. Col., Robt. Chester; 
Major, Abijah Ferguson. 

Second Regiment : Col., II. Ilultz ; Lieut. Col., John S. McCombs; 
Major, James Barr. 

The Spang Infantry, Captain Scanlon ; Union Artillery, Capt. Large; 
Turtle Creek Guards, Capt. Kunklc ; McKeesport Union Guards, Capt. 
Snodgrass, and Monongaiiela Blues, Capt. Blackburn, Avere among the new 
companies represented. 

On Friday four additional companies, making ten from Allegheny county, 
were accepted and ordered into camp. They were the Anderson Guards, 
Chartiers Valley Guards, Duncan Guards, Allegheny Rangers, Iron City 
Guards, Garibaldi Guards, Anderson Cadets, City Guards, B., Pittsburgh 
Rifles, and McKeesport Union Guards.* As there had been no provision 
made as yet for a reserve corps in the State, the men were entitled, for the 
time being, to nothing but their rations. In the mean time the Erie Regi- 
ment, three months volunteers, under Col. McLean, took up quarters in 
Camp AVilkins, of Avhich Col, McLean took command. A special meeting 
of the Legislature, in May, authorized the formation of a Reserve Corps, 
and provided for its maintenance until called into the service of the United 
States. Troops were ordered into camp from all of the Western counties 
of the State, until over three thousand men thronged its confined limits. 
It was soon discovered that the location Avas poorly adapted for a camp, and 
on May '25th Gen. McCall was sent by the Governor, with a military com- 
mission, to examine the surrounding country and select another site. Rapid 
trips were made to Sewickley, on the P. F. W. and C. Railroad, and Brad- 
dock's Fields on the Pennsylvania Central, and on the 2Tth the party, 
composed of Gen. McCall, Capt. Sheets, U. S. A., his Aid, Quarter-masters 
McKelvy and Benson, Commissary Weaver, Capt.'s Duncan, Dick, Barnes 
and others, and Messrs. James Henderson, James Gibson and Jos. S. Lare, 
proceeded to Hulton, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, and examined the 
ground thoroughly, finally selecting it as a site for the new camp, which 
was named Camp Wright, in honor of Hon. John A. Wright, aid to the 
Governor. The camp was laid out on the 28th, on a broad field in the rear 
of the station buildings at Hulton, the grouud sloping up to a steep emi- 
nence, about three hundred yards from the river. The parade ground was 
about one-fourth of a mile below, and fronted directly on the river. On 
the 80th, the first company — the Warren Guards, afterwards known as the 
'' Wild Cats" — took up its (juartors in Camp Wright, Avhich was soon after 
filled, — by removals from Camp Wilkins and troops from other counties, — 
by over four thousand men,

toward the close of June, forty companies were collected, including the 
Erie regiment, while ten companies remained at Camp Wilkins. These

companies had nearly all recruited under the call for three months men, hut 
previous to their muster into United States service were required to enlist 
for three years. In some companies a great deal of dissatisfaction was oc- 
casioned by the change, but all were finally sworn into service without the 
necessity of disbanding. In the beginning of July, the State officers ap- 
peared in Camp and organized the companies into four regiments, of which 
the Tenth and Eleventh contained no Allegheny county companies :

ELEVENTH REGIMliNT, P. V. C. 

Colonel : T. Jl. Gallaher, 
Lieutenant Colonel : J. R. Porter. 
Major : S. M. Jackson. 

On July 17th the Reserve regiments were sujtplied with arms — :altered 
muskets — and uniforms, and on the 23d left for Washington. Thcentire 
Reserve corps was formed into a division under Gen. M'Call, and during 
the winter quartered at Camp Pierpont, a portion of the division serving 
with credit in the hattle of Draincsville. In March they Aver'c placed un- 
der command of Gen. M'Dowell, in his movement on Fredericksburg, and 
in June Avere transferred to the Peninsula, in time to participate in tiie Se- 
ven Days' Battles. They returned under M'Clcllan in time for the battles 
under Gen. Pope before Washington, and were again in service in Maryland, 
in the battles of South Mountain and Antietam. In every action they have 
maintained their high reputation, and have earned their veteran stamp a;t a 
terrible cost of life. Since entering the service in July, 1861, the Re- 
serves have been reduced from fifteen thousand to about six or seven thou- 
sand men. Gov. Curtin has recently submitted a proposition to the Presi- 
dent to bring home these, and other veteran regiments, by detachments, for 
the purpose of recruiting their enfeebled ranks to their former standard. 

THE ERIE REGIMENT, 

one of the finest bodies of men raised during the war, was enlisted in Erie 
and adjoining counties under the first call for 75,000 men. As the compa- 
nies were enrolled in widely separated localities, some time elapsed before 
the regiment was organized, and it was then too late for acceptance in the 
State's quota of sixteen regiments. Several of the companies were en- 
camped for some time in Erie county, but on the organization of the regi- 
ment, so great was the reluctance of the State authorities to order its dis- 
banding, that it was finally determined to retain it for State service, and it 
was accordingly ordered into camp at Pittsburg. The regiment entered 
Camp Wilkins on May 2d, with the following organization : 

Colonel: John W. M'Lean.*

to Camp Wright, when Col. George S. Hays assumed command of Camp 
Wilkins. The Erie regiment was mainly uniformed, the liberality of the 
citizens of Erie supplying the means. The uniform was a showy and hand- 
some one, and added greatly to the militaxy appearance of the regiment. 
Prior to the transfer of the regiment to Camp Wright, great excitement 
was occasioned in the county and along the Monongahela. valley, by a rebel 
raid, supposed to threaten Morgantown, and the regiment, together with 
one or two detached companies was ordered under arms, for the defence of 
the valley. The order was countermanded in a few hours, and the com- 
panies relapsed into their accustomed repose. It was transferred to Camp 
Wright, soon after the opening of that camp, and remained there for near- 
ly two months, incessantly annoyed during that time by orders and coun- 
termands. Dui-ing the "Morgantown scare" arms were provided for 
them, but not distributed, and the regiment was consequently never armed. 
It was never permitted to form a permanent organization, and at length 
Col. M'Lean applied directly to the War Department for acceptance. He 
was informed that his regiment would be accepted for three years, if ready 
to march at once. On his return. May 13th, Col. M'Lean announced the 
result of his mission, on dress parade, and the matter was taken into con- 
sideration by tlie officers. On laying the proposition before the men, how- 
ever, a majority in nearly every company refused to enter service for three 
years. Many had enlisted for three months who could not leave their bu- 
siness, for a longer time, but by far the largest portion were thoroughly 
disgusted by their treatment in camp. On July 19th the regiment was 
paid off" and on the following day set out on its return to Erie, having 
spent three months in forced inaction. The regiment, as such, was never 
re-organized, but nearly all its members re-enlisted under the subsequent 
calls, Col. M'Lean organizing the 83d Pa. vols. He was subsequently kill- 
ed in action, before Richmond. 

The Unaccepted Companies. 

It has already been stated that under the three months' call some forty 
or fifty companies were raised in excess of the county's quota, and that an 
attempt was subsequently made to organize these companies into indepen- 
dent reserve regiments. Under a heavy "outside pressure" Gov. Curtin 
finally agreed to establish a camp at Pittsburg and to order six Allegheny 
county companies into it. Strenuous efforts were made by all the captains 
to secure quarters in camp for their men, but out of over forty applicants 
only four were successful. Meetings of the captains were being held daily, 
and the selection of ten companies became a theme of angry comment 
among those not selected, or as they were afterwards known, the " Unac- 
cepted Companies." Committees were appointed to wait on the Committee 
j of Public Safety, on the Governor, and every one in fact, to whom the com- 
[Ipanies could look for assistance in their difficulties. The meetings were 
Hnot always harmonious, and utterly failed in advancing the cause for which 
lithc}^ were held, becoming at length merely gatherings for the purpose of 
Ij venting contending views. The position of many of the officers was ex- 
jj tremely trying. Some had recruited companies with their own funds, at 



22 



Military Record 



the very outset of the excitement, and had supported the men, mainly at 
their own expense, for several weeks. Others Avho had made their appear- 
ance in the field later, had recruited companies and been ordered into camp, 
where they would at least be maintained without cost to the officers. This 
fact, especially, became a subject of bitter comment, and charges of unfair- 
ness and partiality were freely bandied by the unsuccessful. The selection 
of the ten companies, as may be supposed, had an extremely bad effect up- 
on the "unaccepted" which gradually began to decline. It was discovered 
at length that no aid could be obtained either from the State authorities or 
the community, and the companies began gradually to disband. As already 
noted, a portion, embracing twenty-four of the companies, had been 
organized into two regiments, and a proposition was made to the Commit- 
tee of Pidjlic Safety to maintain these organizations, if the community 
would furnish the necessary supplies and shelter for the men. Linden 
Grove being selected as a camping ground. The Committee declined to as- 
sume the responsibility, having no fund for the purpose, and the organiza- 
tions at length yielded to inevitable fate, and disbanded. The last meet- 
ing of the captains, of which we have any record, was held on May 22d, 
and adjourned to meet at the call of another committee appointed to wait 
upon the Governor. Whether this committee ever reported we do not know, 
but as the companies were already entering the organizations of other States, 
it is not probable. 

Had any concerted effort been made at this time by the community, there 
is no doubt that two or three regiments might have been maintained at 
comparatively trifling cost, until required under the second requisition for 
volunteer troops. Gov. Curtin, although he had recommended the forma- 
tion of a reserve corps, refused to sanction the formation of companies for 
such an organization, until forced to do so by popular opinion. In New 
York, on the contrary, Gen. Sickles' brigade was established, although vol- 
unteers came in so slowly from the State that companies from other States 
were Avillingly accepted. "Western Virginia too, which was just beginning 
to assert its loyalty, found the mustering of the State quota of volunteers 
extremely difficult, and at length established a camp on Wheeling Island, 
to which volunteers from all the surrounding States Avere invited. 

In the meantime it had become apparent that the rebellion could not be 
put down in three months, nor by seventy-five thousand men, and the loyal 
community anxiously awaited a second call. Among the independent or- 
ganizations and unaccepted companies, the subject of a three years enlist- 
ment had already been broached, and was generally concurred in. 

The two independent regiments formed of the unaccepted companies of 
Allegheny county were pledged to three years' enlistment, if taken into 
Government service. The inducements held out by Virginia and New 
York, at length proved too strong for the companies so anxiously awaiting 
employment at l*ittsburg, and men began to leave by squads, and finally by 
companies for Wheeling. 

On May 14th the first squad of thirty men left for Camp Carlile, on 
Wheeling Island. It was subsequently announced that all companies would

rendezvous at Wellsville, and on Virginia soil re-organize as Virginia com- 
panies, by re-electing their officers. 

On the 9th, fifty volunteers from different companies, some of them 
disbanded, followed to Wheeling and entered Virginia companies. On the 
22nd, the Spang Infantry, Captain Scanlon, and Woods Guards, Captain 
Hays, left for Wheeling, followed on May 2nd by the Jackson Guards, 
CaptainFlesher. The Plummer Guards, Captain John D. Owens, (now Lieut. 
Col. 139th Pa., Vols.,) a company exclusively organized and uniformed by 
Jos. Plummer, Esq., of this city, started for Camp Carlile on June 5th, 
in company with the Anderson Infantry, Capt. Alexando*' Scott, subse- 
quently known as the Belmont Guards. The Firemen Zouaves were organ- 
ized in Camp Carlile on June lOtli, by Capt. Robt. Gibson. On the 6th 
and 7th of June, the Friend Rifles, Capt. Brunn, a company organized and 
uniformed by Porter R. Friend, Esq., and the U. S. Zouave Cadets, Co. 
B., under Captain John P. Glass, left for New York, where they were subse- 
quently organized in the Sickel's Excelsior Brigade — the former as Co. A., 
3d regiment, and the latter as Co. A., 5th regiment. A few days after 
the arrival of the companies in New York, two members of the Zouaves, 
Lieutenants Ahl and W. W. Wattles, returned and organized Co. C. of the 
Cadets, which left for New York on the 21st of June. Under the auspices 
of Captain Brunn, a second company of Friend Rifles was also recruited 
in a few days, and left under command of Capt. Alex. Hay, for New York, 
on the 21st, in company with Co. C, of the Zouaves. Some difficulty took 
place on their arrival in New York, and the two companies, or the major 
portion of them, returned to Philadelphia, and were organized in the cele- 
brated Geary's Regiment, since claimed as a '"Philadelphia organization," 
exclusively. 

The Pittsburgh Independent Scouts, Captain Anderson, started on the 
20th of June for Reading, where they were incorporated in a cavalry regi- 
ment. 

The falling off" of men to join the reserve companies in Camp Wilkins, 
and those who entered service in New York and Virginia regiments, so 
reduced the unaccepted companies which still retained their organization 
as to render their disbanding an imperative necessity. One of the first 
companies disbanded — the Pennsylvania Life Guards — had already cost 
Captain Williams for maintenance $600. 

Circumstances have since shown what a fatal blunder was committed in 
allowing these companies to enter the service of other States, without mak- 
ing any provision for their recognition by the authorities of Pennsylvania. 
Many hundreds of men left the county in organized companies, and there 
can be no doubt that nearly an equal number left singly or in small detach- 
ments and entered companies formed in other States, thus leaving no trace 
whatever of their military service. The neglect of the county to provide 
an efficient organization and to furnish support to the "LTnaccepted Com- 
panies" has reduced the list of troops furnished, on which it has relied to 
avoid a draft, nearly three thousand men. A carefully prepared list of the 
companies which entered the service outside of Allegheny county regiments

West, Ewing, Gibson, and Scott in the 2nd Virginia. 

The Clothing Fraud. 

No history of the " tlirec months' campaign " wouKl be complete without 
a record of the celebrated "clothing fraud case." It will be remembered 
that on the outbreak of the rebellion there was on hand in the country but 
a small supply of "military goods," such as heavy blue cloth for uniforms, 
blankets and shoes. In purchasing suj)plies for the State troops it became 
necessary, therefore, to adopt a dift'crent stand;ird of goods, and in the haste 
requisite to fit out the quota of Pennsylvania immediately, the ordinary rou- 
tine of advertising for proposals was abandoned, opening a wide field for 
corruption and rascality. The troops had been but a few weeks in camp, 
after receiving their uniforms and equipments from the State, until com- 
plaints became rife of the miserable quality of the clothing and shoes. 
Many of the suits furnished were so rotten and poorly made up that they 
fell to pieces in a few days, putting the wearers to the most absurd shifts 
to cover their nakedness. Shoes were found to have been constructed with 
an "insole" of shavings or wood, and so slightly put together that the 
outer sole would part company on the first day's wear. The blouses were 
made up of materials so loosely woven as to resemble in some respects bolt- 
ing clotii, and decidedly better fitted for sifting grain than protecting the 
wearers from the inclemency of the weather. Tlie material used used for 
this clothing was that generally knoAvn in trade as shoddy, a stuff made up 
by machinery from old woolen cloth. On May 21st, the first exposition of 
the frauds connected with these clothing contracts appeared in the Phila- 
delphia Inquirer. A bill for $22,585 had been presented by Frowenficld & 
Bros., of Pittsburg, who had obtained a contract for a large number of 
uniforms through an individual named Charles M. Neal, an "Agent" for 
the State of Pennsylvania, and on whose endorsement the bill was "pass- 
ed." The bill read as follows : 

2,085 uniforms at $10, . . - - $20,850 

347 pairs of pantaloons at $5, . . - 1,735 



$22,585 1 



The " imiforms " spoken of included, it is supposed, a coat or "blouse" 
and pantaloons, though the separate charge throws some doubt on the last 
item. Subsequent inquiry has utterly failed to show by what authority 
Mr. Neal acted in this matter, as Gov. Curtin entirely repudiated any 
"ao-encies" save those legitimately appointed — Quartermaster General Hale 
and Commissary General Irvin. The quality of the goods for which these 
enormous charges were made, and ihe relation of Mr. Neal to the contract 
were afterwards fully shown by legal investigation. 

"We have already noticed the operations of the Executive Committee of 
the Committee of Public Safety, and soon after this statement was publish- 
ed, an investigation was commenced by the C'ommittee, On Tuesday, May 
28th, M. Swartzwelder, Esq., at a meeting of the committee offered a pre- 



Of Allegheny County. 25 



arable and resolutions, alluding to the charges of fraud in general circula- 
tion, and providing for the appointment of a committee to investigate the 
charges. The resolutions were adopted, and the following committee ap- 
pointed: M. Swartzwelder, Esq., Thos. Bakewell, Esq., Hon. Wm. F. 
Johnston, and Wm. M. Shinn, Esq. 

This committee addressed a note to the Messrs. Frowenfeld inviting their 
attendance at the examination, on Wednesday, May 29th, but as neither of 
them appeared, the committee sent a second note by Mr. Riddle, one of the 
Mayor's police. To this note an insolent reply was returned, that the par- 
ties accused would have nothing to say, and an intimation that the bearer 
of the note would be shown the door. Messrs. Frowenfeld had a few days 
before published a note in relation to the charges made against them, and 
requested a public investigation ; as they now refused to appear, the Com- 
mittee proceeded without them. They examined but five witnesses, on 
whose statements the matter was brought before the Grand Jury on Tues- 
day, June 4th. M. Swartzwelder, Esq. and Thos. Williams, Esq., were re- 
tained as prosecuting counsel. 

The Court met on June 3d, and the Grand Jury organized, after an able 
charge from Judge M'Clure, in which the rascality of contractors was se- 
verely commented on, and the jury charged to regard the furnishing of 
improper food or rotten clothes as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. 
On Monday, June 25th, Mr. Marshall, counsel for the Frowenfeld's, moved 
for a continuance of the case until the next term of Court. Messrs. Thos. 
Williams, M. SAvartzwelder and J. H. Miller appeared for the Common- 
wealth, and Hon. Chas. Shaler, Thos. M. Marshall, F. H. Collier; S. W. 
Black,- J. M. Kirkpatrick, Jno. Mellon, and John Coyle, Esqs., for the de- 
fence. The case was argued on the same day, on the ground that Alfred 
Slade, J. N. Shannon and Jos. Lee, material witnesses for the defendants, 
were absent. The Court withheld a decision "until the Monday following, 
when, the docket having been meantime cleared, the case was taken up, 
and two of the "necessary witnesses " were brought into Court. The third 
proved to be of no importance. Neal's bail had been forfeited, but was 
now renewed by his counsel, Mr. Brewster, of Philadelphia. To the intense 
surprise of the community, the case Avas here closed by a certiorari to the 
Supreme Court, and an allocatur from Judge Lowrie, the defendants hav- 
ing sworn that the President Judge was so far prejudiced against them that 
they could not obtain justice. Such a grave impeachment of the venera- 
able and upright Judge of the Quarter Sessions Court as was contained in 
this affidavit, should never have obtained credence from the Supreme Court, 
and the surprise of the prosecuting attorneys may well be pardoned. A 
rule to show cause Avhy the certiorari should not be rescinded was argued 
before the Supreme Court on July 2nd, and the case was regularly trans- 
ferred to the Supreme Court, and a hearing fixed for the first Monday in 
September. At this time a continuance was asked by the CommouAvealth, 
Sylvester W. Murphy, a clerk of the Frowenfeld's, and a very important 
witness, inasmuch as the prosecution was in a great measure based on his 
testimony before the Grand Jury, being absent. The case was continued til 
the 18th inst. On that date, Murphy being still absent, a nolle pros was enter- 



26 



Military Record 



ed, with the intention of entering a new bill on the re-appearance of the wit- 
ness. Murphy was subsequently arrested in Philadelphia, on his return from 
his trip to Europe, but this extraordinary case was never tried, although 
the fact that the suits were not worth half the money charged was well 
substantiated. Their estimated cost was $7,00; actual value for wear ^00. 



THE SECOND REQUISITION. 



FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS, 



One of the most important acts of the special session of Congress called 
by Mr. Lincoln, was to authorize the President to accept the services of 
500,000 volunteers for three years. Under this act, arrangements were 
made at once for re-oro;anizino; the three months' regiments then in the 
field. Unfortunately, the experience of the Pennsylvania troops had not 
been such as to induce them to favor the project. ^Lany were utterly dis- 
gusted with the organization of their companies and regiments, scores of 
men holding commissions as field and line officers who were wholly unfit for 
the positions they occupied. Many Avere so dissipated that during the en- 
tire campaign their commands derived no benefit whatever from their in- 
structions. Others were dissatisfied with the treatment they had received 
at the hands of the State authorities. Towards the close of their term of 
service, the general management of the State quota was greatly improved, 
but the rotten clothes, and still worse, the rotten food, supplied at the out- 
set of the campaign, were still fresh in the memories of the outraged troops. 
The principal objection, however, originated no doubt in the utterly idle 
and unprofitable character of the campaign just closing. For nearly three 
months, the men had lain idly in camps or had been fruitlessly marched and 
countermarched until completely worn down. AVe have already given in 
detail the campaign of the four regiments in whicli the Allegheny compa- 
nies were organized, and an ample illustration of all of these causes of com- 
plaint will be found in this brief sketch. 

As we have already noted, the troops composing the Allegheny county 
quota reached home on the 29th of July, and 1st of August, scattered de- 
tachment detachments having arrived during the previous week. The re- 
serve regiments had been sent to Washington a few days previous, but the 
city was by no means cleared of military. 



Of Allegheny County. 27 



On the 29tli, a camp for regular cavalry was established at Linden Grove, 
under Colonel Emory, and several of the unaccepted companies which had 
maintained their organization were pressing forward. 

On the arrival of the disbanded three months men, recruiting offices were 
at once established, and after a few days of comparative quiet, recruiting 
proceeded almost as briskly as in the earlier days of the war excitement, 
although men were already beginning to thoroughly comprehend the trials 
of the service and the magnitude of the task before the Government. 

On the 25th of July, Gen. Geo. B. M'Clellan — who up till a few days 
previous had held a comparatively unimportant command in Western Vir- 
ginia, and had been called to Washington to assume the task of reorganiz- 
ing the army — passed through the city. He was received at the Allegheny 
Station by an immense crowd, and was escorted to the Monongahela House 
by the Twin City Rangers, Capt. Geo. Thompson, and Allegheny Greys, 
Capt. Boisel. Nearly all the Home Guard companies in the two cities were 
in the line of procession, which was closed by the companies composing the 
Fire Department. The Fort Pitt battery, divided into two sections and sta- 
tioned on Cliff street and Seminary Hill, fired a Major General's salute on his 
arrival. At the Monongahela House he was welcomed by Judge Shannon, 
and replied briefly. Col. Saml. W. Black, vrho had returned a short time 
previous from Nebraska, of which territory he had been Governor, also 
made an eloquent address, closing the ceremonies of one of the most bril- 
liant and enthusiastic receptions ever given by the city. 

On the 23d inst. an immense mass meeting Avas held in City Hall, in ref- 
erence to the proposed increase of the army. S. F. Von Bonnhovst, Esq., 
was called to the chair, and Thomas P. Bakewell and Rev. John Douglass 
were appointed Vice Presidents. Resolutions were adopted urging the col- 
lection of funds to aid in filling up the companies recruiting, and to provide 
for the families of volunteers, and the following gentlemen appointed on the 
Committee : Hon. T. M. Howe, H. M'Cullough, Esq., Dr. J. Carothers, 
Wm. Thaw, Esq., John Scott, Esq., and Alexander Nimick, Esq. The 
Committee set actively about the duties entrusted to them, and on the fol- 
lowing week the recruiting of a regiment, to be under command of Col. Oli- 
ver H. Rippey was commenced. A regiment Avas already partially recruit- 
ed for Col. Samuel W. Black, and Col. Rowley, of the 13th P. V., began 
the reorganization of that regiment, Lieuts. Foster and jM'Hwaine recruit- 
ing companies. On Saturday, August 3rd, the first three years regiment 
left for ^¥ashington under Col. Black. It has since been known as the

Capt. Leopold Salil.

These companies, from Washington City, were transferred to Lamon's 
brigade at Williamsport. Hampton's battery was subsequently added to the 
brigade. Men were enlisted in the county for the regular service, in cavalry 
and infantry companies, and as marines for the navy, or for gun-boat ser- 
vice. Many Germans were enlisted for "German regiments," who were 
afterwards mustered into regiments raised in the eastern counties, or in 
other States. Of those who entered service in Virginia, wo have the record 
of but five companies ; of those who entered New York service, but two 
companies ; of those who joined Geary's regiment, of four companies. 
The cavalry companies organized in this county were generally mustered 
into service in regiments made up from all parts of the State, but numbers 
joined regiments of other States, as those of Sahl, now Redpath, and Pat- 
terson, now Stewart, which form part of the First Maryland Cavalry regi- 
ment. It would probably be below the mark to say, that in addition to the 
558 men reported as having enlisted from the county, in outside organiza- 
tions, nearly two thousand have gone of whom we have no trace. The 
companies sent from the counties were not in any case, save the 62d, 
organized into regiments before leaving, though a tacit understanding exist- 
ed in some instances, as in the 61st and 102d, ("old 13th.") The compa- 
nies of Capts. Ahl, Ball, Copeland and Meyers were early consolidated 
with Geary's regiment, and participated in its entire campaign. It lay for 
some months at Point of Rocks and Harpers' Ferry, during which time it 
drove the rebels from Bolivar Heights. During the first campaign in the 
Valley of Virginia, it participated, with Knapp's battery. In the second 
advance from Harpers' Ferry it took part in the battle of Cedar Mountain, 
and in the subsequent battles under General Pope. On the re-organization 
of the army, it took part in the brief Maryland campaign. The companies 
in the 1st and 2d Virginia regiments, and those in Blenker's division parti- 
cipated in the entire campaigns of 1861 and '62 in Western Va., skirmishing, 
guarding railroads, marching and countermarching, and spent the winter, 
partially quartered and poorly supplied, on the mountain ranges. In the 
spring of '62 they crossed the mountains and joined the corps under Fre- 
mont. The main body of the troops enlisted here, however, spent the win- 
ter in the Army of the Potomac, surrounding Washington. Company's A, 
Capt. Foster, and D, Capt. Enright, were detached from the 102d (old 
13th) regiment, on picket duty, under command of Capt. Foster, and lay 
for some months at Great Falls, Md., guarding the Chesapeake and Ohio 
Canal. During their occupation of " Cantonment Rowley," a paper was 
published regularly by the "Dispatch Mess," being a continuation of the 
paper published by the "old 13th" at Williamsport. 

In March, the Army of the Potomac commenced its advance on Rich- 
mond, in which the 61st, 62d, 63d, 101st and 102d (old 13th) regiments 
participated. Several other regiments embracing Allegheny County 
I companies took part in the campaign, from the taking of Yorktown until

the siege of Richmond, the Reserve regiments joining the army just before 
the bloody seven days' battles. After the removal of the army from the Pen- 
insula to Fredericksburg, the Allegheny troops were engaged in one or oth- 
er of the actions during Pope's retreat to Washington. They were subse- 
quently re-organized under M'Clellan, and participated "with honor in the 
battles of South Mountain and Antietam. One company of Allegheny 
volunteers, under Capt. Thos. E. Rose, was organized as a portion of the 
77th regiment. Col. Stambaugh, and embarked for Kentucky under Gen. 
Negley. They took part in the campaign of last Spring and Summer, 
were in the battle of Pittsburg Landing and at the siege of Corinth. They 
are now in the force operating under Gen. Bucll. The Anderson cavalry, 
made up of representatives from all parts of the State, and one of the finest 
bodies organized in Pennsylvania, also participated in the Kentucky cam- 
paign as Buell's body guard, and in other special service. The names of 
those enlisted here for the original Troop were : Sergt. Frank B. Ward,(now 
Major in regiment;) Corporal Wm. T. M'Clure; Privates Wm. Strain, 
Robert Henderson, James C. Sproul, Henry J. Toudy, Walter F. Austin, 
John S. Murray, John E. Skillen. The Troop has recently been increased 
to a full regiment. 

A full record of the casualties during this bloody campaign will not be 
made until the information is officially given by a publication of the army 
rolls. W^e find published the following names of commissioned officers lost 
in battle or by sickness ; of the long list of privates and non-commissioned 
officers carried oft' by disease or the chances of battle, our space would pre- 
clude the publication, even could the information be procured.

Recruiting Service. 

Capt. J. Hpron Foster and Lieut. W. B. Kenney, Sergts. Wilkinson and P. P. Baer, and A. 
P. Callow, of the 102d (Col. Rowle^y's) regiment, were detailed on recruiting service in 
January, 18G2, opening offices on the 1st of Febrnary — Capt. Foster, on Fifth street, Pitts- 
burg, and Lieut. Kenney, on Federal street, Allegheny. There were enlisted from Feb. 1st 
to Ai)ril 10th, one hundred and fifty-five recruits, which were distributed amongst twenty- 
seven Penna. regiments. More than one-half of the recruits were obtained by Capt. Foster 
and Lieut. Kenney, although all the men enlisting with them did not join the 102d. 

The second detathment of recruiting ofBcers arrived in August, and are yei in the city. 
Capt. E. S. Wright, of the 62d, one of the number, was appointed provost marshal, and is 
acting in that capacity at the present date, having his office in Lyon's building, 5th street, 
removing thence from 67 Fourth street. 

Relief Committee. 

Soon after active recruiting commenced, in April, 18G1, a number of prominent citizens 
called upon Gen. Negley and authorized him to publish the statement that the families of 
volunteers would be provided for iu their absence, by the community. In pursuance of this 
pledge, meetings were held in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and under the aus{)ices of the Fi- 
nance Committee, of the Committee of Public Safety, collections commenced, and rooms 
were opened for the transaction of business. On the 15th of June the Committee was dis- 
tributing relief to 570 families, and the number was considerably increased after that date. 
Besides providing for these families, the Committee, in accordance with a resolution of the 
banks, which ■subscribed $3000 to the fund, purchased 1800 percussion muskets. Many 
subscriptions of large sums were ronde by individuals and corporations, but our limits for- 
bid a publication in detail. Sub-committees for collection were appointed in all the wards, 
boroughs and townships, and to these committees was entrusted the duty of hearing and 
determining upon applications for relief. Many of the precincts returned comparatively 
small sums, although their subsequent claims for relief were large. We give below the 
names of collectors and sums collected in twenty-nine districts. In the remaining districts 
the sums reported by collectors were small. The total amount collected, in cash, dry goods, 
groceries, etc. was $24,251 90, which was disbursed during the Summer. In cash $18,500, 
was distributed and in dry goods, etc. $2,200. 

In the Autumn, the fund having been exhausted, the Relief Committee was organized. as 
required by Legislature, and the county assumed the distribution of relief. The Commis- 
sioners, who had levied a two-mill tax and appointed collectors, subsequently revoked the 
appointments, recalled the books and borrowed the requisite funds. In order to meet pre.'s- 
. ing claims for relief, the two-mill tax not being paid into the Treasury for some time, $26,- 
" 901 were paid out of the funds in the Treasury. For the year iSGl the sum assessed was 
$55,775. Under the Rclipf act sub-committees were appointed for each ward, borough and 
township, by whom the relief claims were examined and reported, and the relief funds paid 
OHt. The first relief rolls were presented in September, 18G1. The tax assessed in 1CG2 
was $54,927. The sum collected was exhausted in the first seven months of the year, and 
the last relief was paid out in August. The exact amount paid by the county is not known, 
as the accounts are not yet audited.

THE THIRD REQUISITION, 

AND A 

HISTORY OF THE DXi^FT. 



The third requisition, for three hundred thousand men, and the draft 

ordered for an equal number, may be treated as a single event, as but few 

vohmteers were secured until after the second order was issued. In several 

states the orders were considered as a call for six hundred thousand men, 

and apportioned among the districts as a single quota. In Pennsylvania 

I the recruiting of the quota has been so mismanaged that no definite policy 

I can be said to have been pursued relative to it. It is quite probable that 

' the governors were notified on the issuing of the third requisition that an 

order for a draft would follow, but no public or official notice to that effect 

I was given, although rumors of a draft prececdcd the publication of the order 

! several days. 

. On the 'i8th of June, a letter was addressed to the President by the Gov- 
ernors of the loyal States, requesting him to take measures for an immedi- 
ate increase of the army. In pursuance of this request, the President, on 
the 1st of July, issued his third requisition, calling upon the loyal States to 
furnish three hundred thousand volunteers. In some of the States immedi- 



Of Allegheny County. 35 



ate steps were taken for recruiting the quota required, but in Pennsylvania 
the volunteer movements were proceeding very leisurely on the 21st, when 
the Governo}- issued his proclamation, calling for twenty-one regiments of 
volunteers in the State. He had in the interim secured an order for the ac- 
ceptance of nine months, instead of three years volunteers, and of recruits 
for the old regiments for twelve months. Congress at its previous session 
had fixed a bounty for volunteers of one hundred dollars, one-fourth to be 
paid at the time of enlistment and the ))alance at the close. It had also sanc- 
tioned the payment of one mouths' pay in advance, making an enlistment 
bounty of thirty-eight dollars. In several States the Governors, in order to 
hasten enlistments, had added to this a State bounty of fifty dollars or 
more ; but in issuing his proclamation Governor Curtin announced that no 
bounty would be paid by the State. The quota of Allegheny county by 
this proclamation was fixed at fifteen companies of nine months' men. Im- 
mediate measures were taken throughout the State to hasten recruiting, and 
on July 25th, in pursuance of previous notice, an immense mass meeting 
was held on the West Commons, in Allegheny City. At least fifteen thou- 
sand people were assembled and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. 

Four stands had been erected on different portions of the Common for 
the convenience of the crowd, and at one o'clock the meeting was organized, at 
the main stand, by the Committee of Arrangements, and the following list 
of ofiicers announced : 

Stand No. 1. Hon. Wm. Wilkins, President, assisted by a great num- 
ber of Vice Presidents ; Robt. Finney, J. R, Hunter, S. Harper, E. A. 
Montooth, Wm. B. Negley, W. C. Moreland, Thos. M. Bayne, and H. E. 
Davis, Secretaries. 

Stand No. 2. Gen. AYm. Robinson, jr., President, assisted by Simon 
Drum, John Morrison, C. T. Ihmsen, J. M'D. Crossan, and Thos. M'Kee, 
Vice Presidents. 

Stand No. 3. Thomas Bakewell, Esq., President, assisted by B. C. 
Sawyer, G. L. B. Fetterman, John Birmingham, J, Sampson, and B. A. 
Mevay, Vice Presidents. 

German Stand, G. G. Backofcn, President, assisted by N. Voeghtly, 
Francis Felix, Major D. Fickeisen, Dr. A. H. Gross and A. Holstein, Vice 
Presidents. 

Proceedings opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Howard. Hon. P. C. 
Shannon then introduced Judge Wilkins who read a stirring address. Gov. 
Curtin, who was present on the stand, followed in an able but brief speech, 
at the close of which a series of resolutions were read and adopted. 

The resolutions set forth the duty of loyal men to rise to the support of 
the Union in its hour of peril ; the determination of Pennsylvania never to 
retire from the contest until the rebellion was crushed ; calling on the au- 
thorities for an energetic employment of every means in their power to re- 
establish the authority of the Constitution ; that the gratitude of the peo- 
ple of the State was due to Gov. Curtin for his labors in support of the 
Government ; that a subscription be raised for a $50 bounty to volunteers ; 
and that citizens of the county be earnestly requested to call meetings for 
the encouragement of recruiting. The tenth resolution provided that to 



36 



Military Record 



raise the necessary funds for paying the bounty and assisting in preparing 
troops for the field, the following Committee should be appointed to collect 
and disburse : 

Messrs. Tjiomas M. Howe, Tiios. Bakewell, James Paiik, Jr., Geo. 
W. Cass, Isaac Jones, B. F. Jones, Wm. K. Nimick, John Harper, 
Thos. S. Blair, P. C. Shannon, John II. Shoenberger and James B. 
Murray. 

The adoption of the resolutions was followed by a speech from Hon. W. 
F. Johnston, the audience having already divided to the several stands. 
Hon. Wilson M'Candless, Judge of tlie U. S. Court, Prof. S. J. Wilson, of 
the Western Theological Seminary, Rev. James Prcstly, Hon. John Co- 
vode, T. J. Bigham, John H. Hampton, Wm. C. Moreland, Capt. John A. 
Danks, of the 63d regiment, Hon. Robt. M'Knight, J. R, Hunter and oth- 
ers also addressed the meeting. 

The impulse given to recruiting by this meeting was quite marked. 
Companies for nine months and for the war were immediately set on foot 
in both cities. On the 28th an order was issued revoking tlie permission 
given Governor Curtin to recruit nin<3 months regiments, on the ground that 
the time of service was too short to ])c efTcctive, and that, as a similar 
privilege could not be extended to all the states, the discrimination would 
justly provoke complaint. The mustering officer was instructed to continue 
musterinfr in nine months' men until August 10th, and on that date the 
time was extended, to permit regiments already formed to recruit to the 
regular standard, until the 23d inst. In the interval thus allowed a suffici- 
ent number of companies were organized in Allegheny county to fill its 
quota under the first call. At the same time the recruiting of three years' 
men was rapidly progressing. In Allegheny city an impetus was given to 
the nine months' enlistments by the organization of the " Clark Infantry," 
a company under Rev. J. B. Clark, a clergyman of the 2nd United Presby- 
terian Church, in that city. Scores of men whose dread of the irreligious 
surroundings of the sohlier had deterred them from enlisting, rushed to his 
standard, and his company was soon filled to overflowing. A second, third 
and fourth — one under command of the Mayor of the city, Simon Drum, 
Esq. — were organized in a few days, and on the date fixed by the Govern- 
ment a regiment was organized, of which Captain Clark was elected Colo- 
nel. Three years companies were also being organized, and under the 
auspices of William M. Semple, of Allegheny, the Semple Infantry was or- 
ganized by William H. Moody, a similar "rush " resulting in the formation 
of four companies. We may here remark that no man in the community 
has displayed a more genuine spirit of liberality than Mr. Semple, who in 
donations to the companies bearing his name and in other forms has ex- 
pended nearly $3000 towards the formation and equipment of the 139th 
regiment. Edward J. Allen, well knoAvn as the author of the "Oregon 
Trail," which appeared in the Daily Dispatch some years ago, also set 
about the organization of an Engineer regiment, which was subsequently, 
we believe, mustered into service as Infantry. The organization of these 
regiments will be given below :

The 123d regiment left for Ilarrisburg on the 20th day of August, and 
•was followed on the succeeding day by the companies subsequently organ- 
ed into the 136th. The 130th left September 1st, and some days after, the 
155th followed it. During this period two heavy artillery companies, the 
Pittsburgh Artillery, Capt. Young, and Staunton Artillery, Capt. George 
W. Henderson, were recruited and left for Fort Delaware, Delaware river. 
A battalion for the Anderson troop was recruited and forwarded to Carlisle, 
in this month, by Sergeant, now Major Frank B. Ward. Detachments 
were also recruited for Hampton's, Knap's, Daum's and other battalions in 
the field. These regiments had been but a few days in the field when the 
rebel raid into Maryland took place, threatening the safety of the l*ennsyl- 
vania border. Fifty thousand militia were instantly called out by the 
Governor, and in less than a week a far larger number had assembled at 
Harrisburg. An immense war meeting was held at the Court House on 
September 6th, and measures were adopted for a ra])id organization of the 
militia. Companies were hastily organized in Allegheny county, and on 
September 16th, 1066 men, principally from Alleghen^^ left for Harrisburg. 
A regiment had been organized, of Avhich Robert Gal way was Colonel, 
James M. Cooper, Lieutenant Colonel, and A. H. Gross, Major. Compa- 
nies continued to rush Eastward during the ensuing Aveek, from all the 
Western counties, until nearly two regiments had left Allegheny county 
alone. Fortunately their services Avere not required, and after a rapid 
march toward the State Line and return to Harrisburg, the companies Avere 
dismissed. They Avill assist, howcA^er, in maintaining an organization. 

Permission having been given by the War Department to recruit a cav- 
alry regiment, and a regiment of Infantry in Allegheny county, the " Cor- 
coran Regiment " was set on foot,' as announced, for service under General 
Corcoran. It proved unsuccessful, hoAvever, and the men recruited Avere 
subsequently added to other organizations, a company under Capt. PoAvers 
joining the 101st regiment, Colonel Morris. The Stanton Cavalry, Col. 
Schoonmaker, is still at Camp Howe, (formed for troops under the Third 
Requisition, at Linden Grove.) The men have been equipped, and will 
soon be ready to march. A regiment under Colonel Stockton is also filling 
rapidly. 

On the 1st of August, the long anticipated order for a draft Avas pub- 
lished. The State authorities had already called upon the County Com- 
missioners for a statement of the number of militia in the county 
subject to draft, but on this subject no accurate record had been kept, 
and in reply, the commissioners forwarded a statement compiled from 
the report of the County Assessors, giving the number of persons liable to 
military duty in the county as 12,359. Subsequently the commissioners 
determined to order a regular enrolment of the County, Avhich Avas accord- 



Of Allegheny County. 39 



ingly made. There was much discussion as to the regulations which should 
govern the enrolment, but we believe the state laws were followed by the 
assessors, who returned the number of militia liable to duty. 

At its session of 1861-62, Congress passed an act authorizing the Presi- 
dent to order a draft of the militia of the States for nine months service, 
fixing the limit of age between 18 and 21 years, and empowering the Pre- 
sident, in case any State should not have the proper laws for putting the 
act in force, to issue regulations for a draft in such States. Under the State 
law, the exempts were persons in the army and navy, ministers, professors 
and school directors, judges, persons discharged from the U. S. service, and 
officers honorably discharged from militia service. The President of the 
United States is also exempt, and all Government officers. Custom House 
and Post Office officers, stage drivers aiid ferrymen on post routes ; all 
Inspectors of Customs ; all pilots ; all sailors actually employed in the 
service of any citizen or merchant of the United States ; with such others 
as are exempt by disability or chronic diseases. To secure accuracy in the 
enrolment, an act was passed imposing heavy penalties on all tavern or 
boarding house keepers or others refusing information to the Assessor, and 
for giving false information respecting themselves or the parties liable to 
enrolment. 

On the 9th of August the President issued his instructions for the draft, 
as directed by act of Congress. These instructions provided for places of 
rendezvous for drafted men, and the enrolment of all able-bodied citizens 
between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. A commissioner was to be 
appointed for each county, and his duties prescribed as follows: 

" The enrolling officers shall immediately, upon the filing of the enrol- 
ment lists, notify said Commissioners that said lists have been so filed, and 
the Commissioners shall thereupon give notice by handbills posted in each 
township of his county, of the time and place at which claims of exemption 
will be received and determined by him, and shall fix the time to be speci- 
fied in the order aforesaid, within ten days of the filling of the enrolment from 
which the draft shall be made, and all persons claiming to be exempt from 
military duty, shall, before the said days fixed for the draft, make proof of 
such exemption before said Commissioner, and if found sufficient, his name 
shall be stricken from the list by a red line drawn through it, leaving it 
still legible. The Commissioner shall, in like manner strike from the list 
the names of all persons now in the military service of the United States — 
all telegraph operators and contractors actually engaged on the 5th day of 
August, 1862, engineers of locomotives on railroads, the Vice President of 
the United States, the officers, judicial and executive, of the Grovernment 
of the United States, the members of the Houses of Congress and their re- 
spective officers. All custom house officers and their clerks; all Postofficers 
and stage drivers who are employed in the care and conveyance of the 
j mails of the post offices of the United States; all ferrymen who are employ- 
ed at any ferry on the post roads; all pilots; all mariners actually emploj^ed 
*- in the sea service of any citizens or merchants within the United States; 
all engineers and pilots of registered or licensed steamboats and steam- 
, ships, and all persons exempt by the laws of the respective States, from 



40 Military Record 



military duty, on sufficient evidence, or his personal knowledge that said 
persons belong to any of the aforesaid classes, whether the exemption is 
claimed by them or not. Exemption will not be made for disability unless 
it be of such prominent character as to render the person unfit for service 
for a period of more than thirty days, to be certified by a surgeon appointed 
by the Governor in each county for that purpose." 

Under these instructions a second enrolment of the County was made. 
James L. Graham, Esq., Avas appointed Draft Commissioner, but declined 
the position, and at his suggestion, the aj)pointment was transferred to Wm. 
B. Negley, Esq. The Deputy Marshals appointed were the Assessors of 
the several precincts, who were supposed to be eminently qualified for the 
duty — a mistake, as it afterward proved that one man could not perform 
thoroughly a duty so onerous — and the enrolment proceeded rap- 
idly. On the 20th it was announced that the total enrolment of the coun- 
ty was 37,099, divided as follows : 
Pittsburg 11,187 1 Allegheny 5,709 ] Boroughs 6,870 | Townships 13,333. 

The apportionment was thus announced : 

Pittsburg. ^ Allegheny. Boroughs. Townships. 
Quota, 3,277 1,609 1,941 3,766 

Credit, 2,016 1,354 1,752 3,236 

Deficiency, 1,261 255 189 530 

The total number of men reported as having enlisted in Pennsylvania or- 
ganizations was 8,392, to be taken from a quota of 10,593 leaving a defi- 
ciency of 2,201. Five hundred and fifty-eight were reported as having en- 
listed in regiments not belonging to the State, and were therefore not cred- 
ited on the quota. 

The appointment of a Draft Commissioner was followed by the appoint- 
ment of a Surgeon, Dr. A. C. Murdoch, to examine applicants for exemp- 
tion on the ground of physical inability to bear arms. A room was assign- 
ed him in the Court House, and for several weeks his labors were most 
arduous. Private examinations were made in Dr. Murdoch's office, both 
before and after his office hours at the Court House, frequently protracting 
his labors far into the night. For the examinations in his private office 
fees Avere charged, giving rise to a great deal of dissatisfaction in the com- 
munity, and suspicions of unfair dealing. None of the rumors were sub- 
stantiated by direct charges or a legal investigation. 

The labor of preparing for the draft, making the necessary calculations, 
etc., was so heavy that the clerks in the Draft Commissioner's office were 
kept busy night and day. The date fixed for drafting was twiee postponed, 
once to Sept. 1st, and again to Thursday, Oct. 16th, the Governor, on the 
last occasion, announcing tliat the delay was occasioned by the diificulty of 
properly deciding the claims for exemption presented by Philadelphia and 
other cities. In Allegheny county great dissatisfaction was expressed in 
many districts at the defective returns of the Deputy Marshals, and permis- 
sion was given to amend these returns up to Sept. 1st. After that date, the 
Commissioner refused to receive any additional returns, save those of "new 
' enlistments" — i. e. those enlisted subsequent to the returns of the Marshals. 



Of Allegheny County.

These additions required the certificate of the mustering officer that the par 
ties were actually mustered into service. j 

A meeting held in the Third Ward subsequent to the date fixed by the j 
Commissioner resulted in a return from the ward, by "block committees," of; 
some three hundred names, in addition to those reported by the Deputies, i 
These names the Commissioner declined receiving and the matter was re- 1 
ferred to the Governor, who placed the decision entirely at the discretion of 
the Commissioner. Mr. Negley accordingly revised the returns, and ac- 1 
cepted 132 names. In other wards, a large number of enlistments were j 
found to have escaped the Deputy Marshals, but it did not become neces- j 
sary to present them. The deficierxcy reported from the first returns of the 
Marshals was gradually reduced by the amended returns, until, on Monday, 
October 13th, the announcement was made that no draft would be required 
in Allegheny county. 

The Pittsburg Subsistence Committee. 

This noble organization owed its existence to the wants of soldiers coming into and passing 
through our city. When the lamented Col. Samuel W. Black was raising his regiment, sev- 
eral companies from the surrounding counties arrived here, and were quarterd at various 
houses of entertainment. It was expensive, and as there was no camp opened in the vicin- 
ity, and no public provision made for subsisting the men, it was necessary that some one 
should become responsible for their expenses. 

James Park,j r., coming to the knowledge of this state of affairs, with the liberality that 
has distinguished him, at once gave directions, that until further orders he "would become 
responsible." Mr. Park, in connection with Hon. Thomas M. Howe, then proceeded to raise 
a fund and to devise means to feed volunteers substantially and at a less cost than could be 
done at the hotels. 

A meeting was held at City Hall and the following Committee appointed : — Hon. Thomas 
M. Howe, Chairman, B. F. Jones, Esq., George Weyman, Esq., Wm. Thaw, Esq., and John 
Scott, Esq. 

The duty of the Committee was to attend to the subsisting of such companies as were 
forming, until they were regularly mustered into the U. S. service. After subsisting Col. 
Black's Regiment for some ten (^ays, until they left for Washington City, the attention of 
tiie Committee was directed to the wants of the regiments and companies passing through 
our city. On the 28th of July, 1861, the first Regiment, the 2-lth Ohio, was fed by the Com- 
mittee. This Regiment was ordered to report at Washington city, and passed through our 
city Saturday eveniug, July 27th. They had gone but a few miles when they were ordered 
back to Western Virginia. They were quartered Saturday night at City Hall, and on Sun- 
day morning a breakfast was given to them by the Committee. As no rooms had been as 
yet fitted up, the meal was giveu to them standing in the street. The following week, the 
Committee had the " Old Leech Warehouse," corner of Penn and Wayne streets, fixed with 
tables, &c., for accommodating a regiment at one time. On Sunday morning. August 3d, 
1861, the first regiment, the 20th Indiana, Col. Brown, was furnished with a substantial 
meal of bread and butter, ham and coffee. A number of young ladies and gentlemen was 
appointed by the committee to take charge of this part of the work — the giving of a meal to 
regiments and companies on their way to the seat of war, and on the 17th of August, 1861, 
the Committee resigncid into the hands of these ladies and gentlemen the whole manage- 
ment of its operations. The following ladies and genttemen were appointed and are still 
acting in that capacity, under the name of the Pittsburg Subsistence Committee.

31ilitary Record 



Early in October, the City Councils granted the nse of City Hall to the Committee, and 
on the IGth of October, the first regiment was fed in City Hall. The Committee has, since 
its organization, furnished meals to over 70,000 soldiers. Of this number, 5768 were sick 
and wounded. These were provided with medical attendance, and all comforts their situa- 
tion demanded. 

, The Committee, after receiving several appeals for supplies from some of the Hospitals of 
I our Army, on the 15th of January, 18G2, opened depots for receiving donations of Hospital 
i Supplies.' They have forwarded, up to Oct. 1st, 320 large cases of supplies to the different 
j Hospitals East and West, containing 54,946 articles. Amongst the articles there were 4800 
shirts, 2140 drawers, 2025 pillows, 1450 cans fruit, and other articles in proportion. The 
' ladies of the Committee under the management of Miss A. Thaw, meet every Wednesday 
^ afternoon, at City Hall, where they cut out work and give it to any persons willing to make 
I it up. In this way over 2,000 shirts and pairs of drawers have been made during the past 
I six months. The Committee depends altogether on voluntary contributions for its support. 
I Amount of contributions of cash for Feeding Fund, ■ $5,500 

j " " Provisions, 500 



$6,000 
Amount of contributions of cash and articles for Hospitals, $31,250 

We can only say, in conclusion, that Committee has performed its work well and thor- 
oughly, yet without public demonstration. They have earned the warm gratitude of thou- 
sands of way-worn soldiers, who, without their kind assistance, would have gone on their 
journey uncheered and unrefreshed. Verily, they have earned their reward. 

The number of pages of religious Books and papers distributed at the rooms of the Com- 
mittee amongst soldiers passing through our city was 246,000. 

THE BOUNTY FUND SUBSCRIPTION. 

We publish below a classified list of the sums subscribed to the fund for paying a bounty 
of fifty dollars to volunteers from Allegheny county. The list includes all subscriptions 
above $50, our space forbidding the publication of smaller sums. In some cases the amounts 
returned from wards include suras above fifty, and where these could be obtained they have 
been included in the classified list.

Subscription to Loans. 



For still further proof of the loyalty of Allegheny county to the Union, we give the 
amounts subscribed by her citizens to the different loans, National and State : 

To the 7-30 Government loan, three hundred and twenty-seven subscriptions were made, 
amounting in the aggregate to $520,404 89, from Sept. 16th to Dec. 2d, 1861, at which time 
the books were closed. 

To the Six per cent. Government loan $532,4.32 was subscribed from IVIay 21st to Oct. 14, 
1862. We could not obtain the number of the subscribers, a convenient record not being 
obtainable. 

These subscriptions were made at the office of Joshua Hanna, Esq., of Hanna, Hart & Co., 
Bankers, corner of Third and Wood streets. At least $500,000 additional was taken in the 
east by parties resident in the county. 

Of the $3,000,000 State loan, authorized by an act of the Legislature, approved May 15, 
1862, the following amounts were taken by Banks of this city : 

Bank of Pittsburg, $90,000 ; Exchange Bank, $90,000 ; Merchants & Manufacturers' 
Bank, $50,000 ; Citizens Bank, $50,000 ; Iron City Bank, $40,000 ; Allegheny Bank, $40,- 
000 : Mechanics Bank, $30,000. Total, $390,000. 

The aggregate amount taken of the loans by citizens and corporations of Allegheny 
county, (including the half million taken in the east,) is $1,942,283 89. 

Subscriptions to the six per cent, loan are still being made, our report of the amount 
taken, as given above, being up to the 14th of October last. 

Uniforming the Three Months Men. 

No provision having been made, either in this city or in Harrisburg, by the authorities, in 
1861, for uniforming the three months volunteers, the men demurred from going until they 
were suitably clothed. B. F. Jones, Esq., assumed the task of equipping one company, and 
depositing his check for three thousand dollars, ordered the clothing to be furnished, 
and set about collecting the amount to reimburse himself. With what success his labors 
were crowned will be shown below. Over thirteen thousand dollars were collected in a day 
or two, and with this ten companies were uniformed. 

Beside these, several other companies were supplied with uniforms, by private subscrip- 
tion, of which, however, we can find no record. 

This sum was subscribed with the understaLding that it should be refunded by the State, 
and the larger part of the donors have agreed, in case it should be thus returned, that it 
should be appropriated for the relief of distressed families of vulunteers. As yet, the State 
has done nothing either in this case, or in that of Messrs. Morganstern & Bro. who furnished 
one entire company, for which they have never received one cent. The members of the Leg- 
islature for this county should see that this just claim against the Commonwealth be not 
allowed to slumber during the approaching session. The amount subscribed for the cloth- 
ing will undoubtedly inure to the benefit of some one of our War charities. 

In some cases uniforms for commissioned officers were furnished out of this fund, a fact 
that should be stated in justice to the contractors, as otherwise the disparity between the 
prices charged per suit would attract attention.

IN CONCLUSION. 

Any attempt to condense the record of the last eighteen months — a period so full of im- 
portant events — into the brief limits of a pamphlet, must necessarily be imperfect. The la- 
bor of collecting the facts presented in the foregoing pages would not be credited by any 
one not familiar with the confused state of affairs which marked the periods of recruiting 
following each call for troops. There exists in Allegheny countif no official or reliable record of 
the troops ivMch have left it, and the columns of the daily newspapers — accessible to but few 
and necessarily inaccurate — furnish the only data in relation to the regiments of gallant men 
now in service. The errors and omissions in our record must be attributed to this fact. 

At the conclusion of the Draft Commissioner's labors it was shown that twelve thousand 
six hundred and ninety men were in Pennsylvania service from Allegheny county, and we 
have no doubt that the members in service in organizations not belonging to the 8tale, will 
increase this number to fifteen thousand men. The Committee has paid .$50 bounty to 1664 
men, and $10 bounty, with county bond for $50, to 2326 men. Total 3990. 

The liberality of the people of Allegheny county has been displayed, since the outbreak of 
the rebellion, by contributions of money and other necessary articles for the outfit of troops, 
care of sick and wounded soldiers, supplying traveling regiments, supporting families of ab- 
sentmen, and contributing to the support of the government by loans of money. Our rec- 
ord shows the collection of the following amounts : 

Of 7:30 and 6 per cent, loans taken in the county - . . . $1,942,283,89 

For volunteer's bounty fund, under Executive Committee ... 129,225,05 

Voluntary Subscriptions to Relief Fund 24,251,90 

Subsistence Committee in food and Hospital supplies .... 27,250,00 

Subscription to private fund for uniforms - .... - 13,681,50 



Total 2,136,692,34 

This sum, it will be remembered, does not include the sums given by individuals to 
companies, nor the hundreds of private benefactions of every description, which probably 
have not been less than one hundred thousand. 

In closing our sketch of the events transpiring in and around our city, in relation to the 
rebellion, we deem it but a fitting tribute to those worthy gentlemen, who have served their 
country and the cause so efliciently, to say that by the active and unremitting spirit of com- 
paratively a few of our citizens, was the abundant patriotism of Allegheny County given 
shape and direction. To lion. Thomas M. Howe, James Parke, Jr., John Harper, Hon. Wm. 
Wilkins, Thomas Bakewell, Reuben Miller, Jr., Isaac Jones, James M'Auley, F. R. Brunot, 
Wm. F. Johnston, Geo. W. Cass, W. M. Shiun, James A. Hutchinson, and some others 
equally deserving, do we owe the origin ition, and the successful development, of the great- 
er part of the plans which have resulted in placing in the field nearly 14,000 soldiers from 
Allegheny County, and for placing their families, at least, beyond the reach of want. 

And without desiring to seem invidious, we may say that no two soldiers in the field have 
rendered their country greater service than Hon. T. M. Howe and James Parke, Jr., have 
done in the business departments of war matters at home. Possessed of business ability in 
an unsurpassable degree, above suspicion lor sinister motives ia the way of seeking or con- 
trolling business patronage, Mr. Howe has at all times been found ready and willing to sac- 
rifice every domestic comfort, every private consideration, for the public good. At present 
he is the A. A. A. General for Western Pennsylvania, a position which could certainly con- 
fer no honor upon the worthy ex-Representative of this great manufacturing district, and 
which he was only induced to accept at the earnest solicitation of the Executive. His ser- 
vices have indeed been arduous, and that they have been productive of good fruit, the 
honorable exemption of Allegheny County from the operations of the draft is a living proof.

Military Record, &c. 



Of Mr. Parke's services, little less can be said. As in the case of Mr. Howe, his purse 
strings were always open, and however distasteful it may be to these really unobtrusive, 
yet public s[iirited gentlemen, to be thus brought to notice, we would deem ourselves derelict 
in our duty as faithful chroniclers, were we to pass them over. 

Some ill-feeling has been created in the community by the number of persons exempt 
under the " disability " clause of the law. The proper course, it is now conceded, is to put 
ALL names in the wheel — drafting a suflficierrt number to cover the loss by examination — and 
permit all who can to make good their claims to e.xemption. But this was not the law, and 
of cour:>e the preliminary examinations ordered, had to be made. That a large proportion 
of volunteer, recruits become inmates of military hospitals, before leaving their camps of 
instruction, is well known, and a worse state of affairs was to be expected among the drafted 
men. It should be remembered that among the volunteer force much the larger portion 
have been from the working classes, men who by daily manual toil generally escape func- 
tional disorders — while the drafted troops will include ^ considerable number of mercantile 
and professional men — a class subject to such disorders. It was desirable to avoid, as far 
as possible, (he drafting of men wiiose liability to constitutional or functional disorders 
would render them unfit for service on the first exposure, and in view of these facts the De- 
partment ordered the preliminary examination. A duty so delicate as the decision on claims 
of physical disability, necessarily involved a liability to occasional error, and the only alter- 
native was to decide as carcfnlly, yet as leniently, as justice would permit. Some may have 
been exempted in this county who were less unfitted than others who entered no claim, but 
they were unquestionably forced to present the strongest proofs of their allegations. This 
! the law requires — beyond it, the Surgeon could not go, whatever professional jealousy may 
have insinuated to the contrary. Those who have joined in the murmurings against Dr. 
Murdoch, the Examining Surgeon for this county, should bear these facts in mind, and as 
a simple act of justice learn the proofs on which each case was decided, before prejudging 
its unfairness. 

Of the Sanitary Commissions of Allegheny County we had intended to speak at length, 
but were compelled to forego so doing, having tailed to obtain any definite data. Our citi- 
zens sent commissions at various times to Eastern Virginia, (on the Peninsula) and also to 
the South-West, to ascertain the condition and wants of our soldiers, and fully prepared to 
render all aid necessary to their comfort, whetlier wounded, sick, or in want of clothing or 
the necessaries of life. Steamboats were sent to Tennessee, shortly subsequent to the battle 
of Sbiloh, with physicians and nurjes and aa abundance of hospital stores, returning in 
due time, after having rendered very efficient aid in properly providing for invalid .soldiers, 
transporting some 400 from the immediate scene of that sanguinary struggle. Of this expedi- 
tion F. R. IJrunot, Esq., had the superintendence, and most faithfully and satisfactorily dis- 
charged his trust. 

ADDENDA. 

On page 28th, in speaking of the National Cavalry, Capt. Boyce, we should have added 
that the company was attached to the 1st Penna. Cavalry, Col. Bayard, and participated in 
some brilliant dashes in the vicinity of Fredericksburg and on the Peninsula. Capt. Boyce 
resigned on account of ill-health, and 1st Lieut. Williams succeeded to the command. 

Another company of Cavalry, under command of Capt. Ormsby Robinson, composed ex- 
clusively of Allegheny county men, is attached to one of the Pennsylvania regiments, and 
saw active service on the Peninsula, under Col. Averill. The cavalry company of Capt. 
Faith is in the 5th Regiment, Col. David Campbell, not in the 4lh, lately commanded by Col. 
J. 11. Childs. Capt. Patrick Kane also recruited a cavalry company, which he took east and 
there joined a regiment in an Irish brigade. Capt. Hays raised a company, which was at- 
tached to Col. Emory's 6th (regular) cavalry. 

We have omitted to speak of Thompson's battery, composed of Allegheny county men, and 
recruited under the auspices of (sen. W. H. Laraon, authorized to raise a brigade, in which, 
however, he did not succeed, the troops temporarily under his csntrol, being assigned to 
dififerent corps. 

Five steamboats were fitted ont at this port, as rams, during the present year, viz : Miugo, 
Capt. Bausinan ; Lioness, Capt. Shroades ; Samson, Capt. Porter ; D. Fulton, Capt. Dal- 
zell ; T. D. Horner, Capt. Cadman. These boats took away 110 men as crews. 

Note. — We have been requested by Dr. A. C. Murdoch, Examining Surgeon for Allegheny 
Co., to state that the name of Alexander Addison Miller, of Pitt Township, which appears 
among the names of those exempted upon a disability certificate, appears in that light, upon 
the record of Commissioner Negley, through a mistake, Mr. Miller having never applied for 
exemption, through any cause whatever.
